Man orders TV through Amazon, gets assault rifle instead | Business & Technology | The Seattle Times

Now why can't I get a delivery like this?

Terrible story. Him brushing his teeth that morning had as much to do with that rifle showing up as his amazon order.

No comment on
He says he had never held a gun before he felt the trigger of the rifle

Happiness is a warm gun
(Bang bang, shoot shoot)
Happiness is a warm gun mama
(Bang bang, shoot shoot)
When I hold you in my arms
(Oh yeah)
And I feel my finger on your trigger
(Ooo, oh yeah)
I know nobody can do me no harm
(Ooo, oh yeah)

That said, label switching has been known to happen inside the major carriers. The thief does not risk being caught with the goods, but is able to divert them to an accomplis and misdirect investigators.
